Isaiah Thomas' career has taken some nice twists and turns over the past few years. Unfortunately, it has been difficult for Thomas to find a steady home in the NBA. This past season, he has played on a number of different teams, including the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers. These were all on 10-day contracts, and recently, Thomas was given a similar deal with the Charlotte Hornets.
Since signing with the Hornets, Thomas has averaged about 10 points per game, and the team is 7-2 in nine games. These are some pretty solid numbers, and today, the team had to make a choice. They could either let Thomas go or sign him for the rest of the year.

As you can see in the tweet down below, the team opted to sign Thomas for the rest of the year, as the Hornets look to make a big playoff push. They are currently ninth in the Eastern Conference standings, and they could use all the help they can get. They are on a five-game winning streak, and with Thomas' leadership, they believe they can make a real push to finish off the season.
This is a move that will certainly excite Hornets fans, and even just casual Thomas supporters. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come for the veteran point guard.
